MALCOLM X & THE LOST PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE NATION OF ISLAM 1957-1963

It was from a prison cell that his love for a man named Elijah Muhammad grew and eventually re-doubles as the National Representative for the Nation of Islam. In this capacity, Minister Malcolm X became the greatest truth teller of America’s black experience, and a polarizing force during the civil rights movement of his generation. His strict adherence to his beliefs gave him a strong following as well as a colossal opposition. This book celebrates Malcolm X as the National Representative for the Nation of Islam in candid ’60 photography. Coupled with portions of unpublished letters, from Elijah and Malcolm X, are a celebrated collection of rarely seen photos, documenting Minister Malcolm X as the Nation’s first National Representative.
